Before Forever After (requested by vampqueen440)

Summary: Takes place a year and a half before "And Many More" (one shot in chapter 7). Phil and Randy's wedding day is a little less than perfect.

Phil paced back and forth in the room where he waited for his wedding to start. "Calm down, man! It's just Randy. I don't get why you're so nervous." Seth said nonchalantly. Phil stopped and looked at his best man. "That's the thing! It's Randy! What if our marriage doesn't last? What if he falls out of love with me? What if I can't make him happy? What if the sex is bad?" Phil was going to continue, but Seth stopped him. "Whoa! I'm going to stop you right there. Don't ever mention Randy and sex in the same sentence around me." He said as he pretended to vomit.

Phil chuckled. Seth had hated Randy so much and everyone knew it. The only reason why Seth put up with him was because he and John have been friends for years. Randy was John's best man when Seth and John got married three and half years earlier. Seth hated it, but he loved John and he still does, so he just has to stomach Randy and his presence.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Phil said loudly. The door opened and John stood on the other side in his tuxedo; he was Randy's best man. Seth smiled seeing how nice his husband looked. He could have just ripped the clothes right off his body. John walked in and kissed his husband before speaking to Phil.

"Randy wanted me to give you this." He said as he smiled at the nervous man. Phil opened the small box and tears stung his eyes. In the box was a pair of 18k Tiffany cufflinks engraved with Randy on one and Phil on the other; they were beautiful. Phil took them out of the box and put them on; he admired the way they shined under the light. Phil reached in his pocket and gave John a similar box. "Give this to Randy for me?" he said. John smiled and nodded. Phil was still admiring the cufflinks when John walked out.

John walked down the hallway and handed Randy the box. "What? Did he not like them?" Randy asked nervously. John laughed. "He loved them. This is for you. From him." John explained. Randy took a deep breath and opened the light blue box. In it was at Atlas dome watch in stainless steel with 76 diamonds and silver dial. It was beautiful. It took a lot for Randy to be speech less, but the engraving on the back did just that. He teared up when he saw what was there: RKO&PJO Forever.

He couldn't believe that he was about to be married in less than an hour. He slipped the watch on and looked in the mirror once more to make sure he looked nice for his soon-to-be husband. John smiled at his best friend. "You look fine, Randy. He's very lucky." John said. Randy only smiled. "You ready?" John asked. Randy nodded. "Yeah. Let's go." He said. John and Randy walked to the doors leading to the ceremony.

The ceremony was underway; it was Phil's turn to walk out. He took a deep breath as the doors opened. He saw Randy standing at the altar and he looked amazing. Phil smiled brightly seeing his man waiting on him. He walked slowly down the aisle; when he finally got to the altar, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around Randy's neck and kiss him passionately. The minister cleared his throat. "I thought that was supposed to be after you say 'I, do'." He joked. Phil pulled away and blushed. "I'm sorry. I got a little carried away." He said as he took Randy's hands in his own. The guests laughed lightly at Phil's forwardness.

The ceremony commenced; but traditionally, the minister asked. "Are there any objections as to why these two shall not be wed?" Every eye in the room, including the entire wedding party, gravitated toward Seth who stood next to Phil. "What?" he said. The guests laugh quietly. "We all know you are less than excited about me and Randy." Phil said. Seth smiled. "You're my best friend. If you love him, I have no say so. I just want you to be happy." He said. Phil smiled and turned back to Randy.

The couple exchanged vows and promises before the minister made their marriage official. "You may now kiss." He said. Phil smiled at Randy's grin and they shared their first kiss as a married couple. The smiled as the kiss broke. "I now present to you for the first time Randy and Phil Orton." The minister said. The crowd applauded as Randy and Phil walked down the aisle hand in hand.


At the reception, Seth had a hard time stomaching Randy's presence. He drank several glasses of champagne to take the edge off. When it was time for the best man's speech, John started. "I've known Randy for roughly fifteen years; he's like a brother to me. I was shocked when he and Phil started dating. I never thought they would be compatible, but as I watched them together I realized they were meant to be. I'm so happy for you, Ran. I wish you and Phil the best." He raised his glass and so did the rest of the people in attendance.

As John sat down, Seth stood shakily. His speech was slurred and he didn't make eye contact with anyone. He took another sip of champagne before speaking. "Me and Phil have been buds for forever!" he started. "Not really. We met like 5 years ago and we've been tight ever since. I like Phil. He's cool people." Seth took another gulp of champagne. "But, Randy? Whew. That's one cocky son of a bitch. Did you know that he hit on me once?" Everyone gasped.

John tried to get him to sit down. "You've had too much to drink, Seth. Just sit down." he said. Seth fought him off, "I'm not done! Let me finish!" he yelled drunkenly. He thought for a second to remember where he stopped. When he remembered, he spoke again. "Yep. Philly here introduced me to him and he tried to fuck me the night we met. I can't believe that asshole thought I'd let him touch me. I told him I was married and he didn't even care." He shook his index finger at Randy as if he was scolding a child. "Naughty Randy!" he said. At that, John physically picked Seth up and carried him away.

Phil looked at Randy with tears in his eyes; he threw his napkin in Randy's face and stormed away. Randy got up to follow him, but Phil had gone too far. He saw Seth and John nearby and charged at Seth. "What the hell was that?" Randy asked Seth angrily. "Chill out, Randy. He was drinking." John said as he approached Randy. "I have to ask you, Randy. Did you really try to have sex with my husband?" John asked seriously. Randy sighed and rubbed the short hairs on his head.

John shook his head. "I can't believe you, man! We're supposed to be friends and you tried to fuck my husband? In case you haven't noticed yet, this friendship is over!" John shouted. Seth laughed. "Randy gots no friends!" he said doubled over in drunken laughter. Randy tried to get in Seth's face, but John separated the two with his body. "Just try not to cheat on your own husband." Seth said over John's shoulder in a slur. Randy shoved John out of the way and punched Seth's face as hard as he could. Seth fell to the floor; holding his face.

John was livid. He ran to his crying husband's side. "What the fuck, Randy? I could have been okay with you trying to flirt with my husband when you met him, but you do not lay your hands on what is mine! I can't believe I ever called you a friend." John shouted.

"I'm sorry, John. I didn't mean—" Randy started. John interrupted him. "No! Leave me alone! Don't ever talk to me again!" John said as he helped Seth up off the floor. John carried Seth away before Randy could get another word in. As far as John was concerned, the friendship he had with Randy was over.

Randy shook his head and went to the bathroom to splash a little water on his face. When he walked in, he heard crying coming from one of the stalls. "Phil?" he called out. "Go away!" the voice was Phil's. Randy signed and pushed open the stall door. "I said go away!" Phil shouted in his husband's face. "Baby, I'm so sorry. I didn't—" Phil cut him off. "Is it true?" he asked. "Is what true?" Randy asked. "Did you try to hook up with Seth when I introduced you to him?" Phil clarified. Randy sighed. Phil knew he had his answer. He tried to leave, but Randy grabbed him.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, Phil! I love you and I married you! I don't want him; I don't want anyone but you. Please believe me. It was so long ago and I never even meant anything by it. We had only been dating for like a week. Whatever I felt for Seth when I met him is long gone. I promise." Randy said. Phil's sobs subsided; he looked into his husband's eyes and saw that he was being honest.

"I'm sorry he ruined our wedding day." Randy said. Phil shook his head. "He's my best friend. I'd rather him be here and ruin it than not be here at all." He said. Randy looked at him in disbelief. "You aren't mad at him?" he asked. "No. Not at all. He was drunk; he didn't know what he was saying. It's okay." Phil said. Randy sighed. "Marriage is about compromise, right? This is our first test." He said. Phil smiled. "I know you won't get along, but you both mean a lot to me: my best friend and my husband." He said. Randy smiled when Phil acknowledged him as his husband. "Husband. I like the sound of that. Let's get out of here." He said. Phil nodded and kissed him passionately. The newlyweds left the reception and drove to their new home that they now shared.


Meanwhile, John and Seth were at home as well. John had just put Seth in the shower under the cold spray. While Seth was there, John found him some aspirin and made him a cup of coffee to get him to sober up faster. John pulled Seth from the shower and dried him off before helping him get dressed.

Seth laid on the bed and sobbed. John groaned. "Get up, Seth!" John yelled angrily. "No! You don't love me, do you?" Seth said. John was taken aback by Seth's question. He sighed and sat next to him on the bed. "Of course I love you. I'm just upset with you right now. You ruined Randy and Phil's reception." He said. Seth pouted. "But I don't like him!" he shouted. John nodded. "I know you don't. You don't have to worry about him anymore. We aren't friends anymore." He said.

"Why not?" Seth asked. John laughed at Seth's memory lapse. "Because he punched my Bunny in the face." He said. Seth gasped. "He hit a cute little bunny rabbit?" he asked surprised. John shook his head. "No. He hit you." He said. Seth giggled. "I'm not a cute little bunny rabbit." He said poking John's face. John laughed. "I guess not. Here, drink this." He said giving Seth the black coffee.

Seth took a sip and made a face. "Eww. It's nasty. It's not even sweet!" he whined. "Take these pills so you won't have headache when you wake up." He said. Seth shook his head. "I'm not even sleepy." He protested like a child. "Just take the pills and drink the coffee." John said. Seth choked down the pills and coffee. John smiled and took the empty mug.

Seth continued to giggle. "I'm so upset with you, but you are so adorable right now." John said leaning in to kiss his him. Seth shook his head. "Nope! I'm married and my husband can beat you up! So you won't be getting to in my pants tonight, sir!" Seth said backing away. John laughed and played along. "Okay. I'll leave you alone. I'll be downstairs if you need me. Just holler, okay?" he said. Seth nodded and laid down to sleep. John stood outside the door until he heard Seth snoring. When he did, John went back into the bedroom and laid down with him; holding him tightly in his arms.


Phil and Randy were consummating their marriage. "Fuck, yes, Randy! Harder!" Phil begged. "So fucking tight, baby. So tight." Randy groaned as Phil's tight passage strangled his cock. "I'm so close, baby." Phil said as he wrapped his legs around Randy's waist to feel him deeper. "Cum for me, babe." Randy whispered as he leaned down to nibble at Phil's neck. Phil arched his back as streams of the thick, white, liquid spurted between their bodies. "Fuuuck!" Phil moaned as he reached his orgasm. He was blinded by the force for a few seconds. With a few strokes, Randy wasn't far behind. His release filled Phil to the rim. "Shiiiit!" Randy groaned as he filled Phil's tight ass. He collapsed his husband and planted kissed all over his face.

When they caught their breaths, Randy rolled off of Phil and cuddled up next to Phil. "That was amazing, Randy." Phil said. Randy nodded. "I'm so glad you made me wait. It was definitely worth it." He said. Phil nodded and nuzzled into Randy's chest. It was the beginning for forever for them and Phil and Randy couldn't have been happier.


John was sleeping peacefully when he heard awful noises beside him. He sat up to make sure Seth was okay. Seth was vomiting in his sleep. "Shit!" John said softly. He tried to shake Seth awake, but he was out cold. John moved Seth from the bed to the floor on his side so he wouldn't choke and suffocate on his own puke. John changed the bed sheets and got as much vomit from Seth's hair as he could.

John was actually surprised that Seth slept through it. John took the soiled sheets downstairs to the laundry room. When he got there he heard Seth screaming. "JOHN! JOHN!" John ran up the stairs to see what was wrong. "What happened?" John asked in a panic. "I don't know!" Seth screamed in fear.

John laughed. "It's not funny!" Seth shouted. John nodded. "Yes it is." Seth pouted. John helped him up and got him to the bathroom for a hot shower. After the shower, John explained to Seth what happened at the wedding reception as he got dressed. Seth felt horrible.

He and Seth sat up on the bed. "I'm so sorry, baby. I bet Phil hates me." Seth said. John shrugged. "I don't know. I doubt it though." He said. Seth nodded and cuddled up to John. John sighed. "Is it true?" he asked. "Is what true?" Seth asked. "What you said during the toast about Randy hitting on you when you met him." John clarified. Seth nodded. "I didn't do anything with him, though, John. I promise." John nodded. "It's okay, Bunny. I believe you." He said. Seth smiled and kissed John's lips. The two just laid together in silence appreciating the relationship they have. It was the rest of forever for them and they couldn't have been happier.
